118 West 3rd Street

Currently, and since 1983, the home of Bleecker Bob's Records, 118 West 3rd Street was once the home of the Night Owl Cafe...When I worked at Bleecker Bob's in the 80's, it took me a while before I figured out the hallowed ground we walked upon. For a few minutes in the mid 60's it was the launching pad for several hugely successful bands that bridged the gap between the folk & psychedelic schools such as the Blues Magoos, and the Lovin' Spoonful. Especially the Lovin' Spoonful. The last track on their 1965 debut album was a little blues instrumental dedicated to their stomping grounds..."Night Owl Blues."

The New York Nobody Sings

A site dedicated to songs about New York. As simple as that. The only rules are that the songs must be brilliant and that the blindingly obvious numbers are excluded. The songs may be explicitly about New York or obliquely about the city in some way. There are plenty of great sites dedicated to photos and images about New York. This site is designed to be a musical accompaniment. And if you have any suggestions then please share them with us ...
